[DoctorDraca]

Yes, guys.. Let's keep this on-topic. Also, if you want crits on your Tracker art, ask so on the fan club or the forum. This thread moves so fast it's hard to keep track, so I can't answer everyone's questions when they're mixed with criticism demands or spam.

[Wlyrout]

Sorry, Nex. I should have probably posted in the Fan Club area.

[Green Bus]

Thank you, Nex, you're lovely. ;D

For an example, this is my personality and introduction story:

Describe its personality:

On The Outside

On the outside, Whimet is just a fun-loving, goofy Tracker. He's a best friend to all of his work partners and his true owner. He'll romp around mindlessly until a siren goes off. He's a hard worker, who used to struggle at paying attention and finding the strength to complete the mission. These days, he's always got his mind on his job and never finds anything that phases him. It appears as though he is not too intelligent, not thinking of consequences and thinking that he can do anything and save anyone. He has shown some signs of smartness, though.

Under the Skin

Under the skin, Whimet is a funny, goofy Tracker who is, in fact, very smart, but sometimes loses all common sense when set on a goal or task. He's not afraid to be loud and proud. He makes a great friend and a hard worker, who loves helping out and saving lives. He would certainly put a stranger's safety in front of his own.

From The Heart

I wish I could tell you Whimet's true personality, but he would probably claw off my face. Unfortunately, I wish to live, and so my lips are zipped for now. I'm the only person who knows- not even his fellow firemen have a clue. I'm not telling, but if you persuade and beg Whimet enough...

Write an introduction for your Tracker:
(Please understand that Whimet, if I won him, would live with me for half the year in spring and summer, and would be sent off to the squad rotations in fall and winter to do what he loves. )

I was laying on the couch when the alarm started blaring. The noise might have driven a normal dog insane- maybe even the average Tracker dog, but I was completly unphased. Just a typical day at the fire station. I yawned, stretched, and waited by the men while they rushed to get on their suits. After that, we all ran single-file out of the station and into the truck. We hadn't even started moving when a call came over the radio.

"Squad 86B, Squad 86B, are you with me?" I saw the faces of my handlers turn pale. The woman sending the alert sounded so panicked, and we had never received information so quickly after the siren went off. Then again, I had only been there for a month or so.

"Squad 86B, we are here. We are here. Over."
"Wild fire at 46 North. Situation looks bad."
"The strip of woods behind the log cabins?"
"You got it."
"Thank you. We are headed that way. Over."

I wasn't too panicked. I didn't think the whole thing would be too bad. Go in, rescue a couple of people, put out the flames, double check, and then leave. It couldn't be too hard.... Boy, was I wrong.

Even when we got there, it looked pretty grim. And that was when the fire had just started picking up. I fearlessly dove into the huge flames, finding myself trapped in a ring of fire. A woman sat coughing in the center. I went over to her. My coat protected me from the heat, and I had enough oxygen, but she was in bad condition. I licked her, trying to cool her off, but nothing worked. I couldn't think of a way to share my supply of oxygen, though.

I only knew one thing: I had to protect her.

I stood over her, waiting. I knew my friends would eventually come with hoses. They would help. I would save her, and they would put out the flames. All of us would be safe.

But they never did come. The minutes ticked by. A glanced a few of them breifly, circling the fire and attempting to put it out. Unfortunately, they were only having as much luck as I was. I looked down at the woman again. She smiled at me, then once again went into a coughing fit. I howled desperately. I could not leave her.

Two hours went by, and my patners still could not exhaust the flames. The woman had long ago passed out. Eventually, I also collapsed next to her. I had failed. I had not saved the woman in time. She would be dead by the time this was all over.

The next thing I remember was waking up in the fire station. I was laying in my bed, and everyone went over to pat my head or scratch my ear when they first saw my eyes open. They said that I had done a 'Good job!' and that I had really helped them out. I wasn't stupid, though. I knew better. The woman would have been long gone by now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Scott is a human firefighter.)
Later that evening, cheif held a meeting, asking for all squad members to attend. We all sat down at a table quietly and waited for him to speak. Once the cheif had sat down, he turned to me and nodded.

"Scott, this meeting is about your Tracker. He tried his best in the wild fire, but he did not save the woman he tried to protect. It cost the woman her life. The scientist promised that he would make a great edition, but he has failed us. We are here to vote: Keep him, or send him back. All those in favor of keeping him, raise your hands."

One hand went up. It was my own.

"So the rest of you want to dispose of him, eh? Well, every member should have some say in this... so we will give the Tracker one last chance. If he fails us again, there will be no third chances. He will be sent back."

Once again, the alarm sounded. Tracker, I thought you had better save somebody this time.
